Lose 20 pounds

Rejoined WW two weeks ago. Down two pounds. It’s a start!

Watching my diet, exercise, and supplements is how I lost most of the 14 pounds over the last year. The last few weeks I added working with a trainer, and protein, for a more efficient work out. Down 4 pounds over the last month. Yeha!
(That’s down 14 pounds from January 2010 to Feb 2011) Go me!!

The cardiologist’ s diet for those over 50:

If it tastes good spit it out! =D

I had been seriously working on this goal for about 9 months, and was actually one pound from meeting this goal, but had a health issue pop up, and was put on an antibiotic that is known for tendon injury so I stopped working out for 2 months, Nov. and Dec.
Needless to say my fat cells loved the holiday cooking! I gained 7 pounds back. UGH

What I did (at the time)to get rid of it – Exercise every day, and watch what I ate. It was slow at times but I kept at it, and stayed active.

The lose 10 pounds goal has to come first. I have set a goal on my Wii fit, to take off 5 pounds in 30 days, so that’s the plan. 5 pounds at a time.

“Congratulations to all of you”!!
You wouldn’t think losing 2 pounds a week would be that hard. I didn’t lose last week, (stayed the same) and there’s a real possibility of not losing this week. (After all the BBQ’s and open houses this Holiday weekend) But at least I haven’t put the three pounds I lost back on! (Thank God)
I am a mere 14 day’s shy of 3 months of not smoking, I’m hoping after that, the sweet’s cravings will “stop”, and dieting will be easier.

Finally some results!!
I want this extra weight “off”!!
Above picture is what pounds of fat look like. Starting at the top.
One pound, 5 pounds, 15 pounds, 20 pounds. *Yuck!

To have 20 pounds of fat off me by the first day of summer! I have been walking more, and exercising everyday for a good month, so far I have shaved a inch off my thighs! I was hoping to see some results off my waist line by now though, so I joined weight watchers on 4/30/08.
The picture is one pound of fat

I did about 40 minutes of exercise, then met my friend about 9 AM at a nearby park with trails, and walked about an hour. We have a plan to do that three days a week. I’m kicking this fat to the curb! (I hope)

I really would like to drop a few pounds “before” summer. I would settle for “10 pounds”.
